A number of users have reported that an image is causing their phones to crash when it is set as a wallpaper. Although the bug seems to affect Android devices mainly, it didn’t cause any problems for the Huawei Mate 20 Pro and Android 11 devices.
When the image is set, the device crashes and repeatedly turns the lock screen on and off.
Software developers say this may have happened because Android software isn’t able to deal with the colour schemes of the photo.
